reinforcing language across environments

Speech and language therapy focuses on a child′s ability to communicate both verbally and non-verbally.  Children communicate using a wide variety of means, from simple gestures to one to two word utterances to more complex skills such as those necessary to sustain a conversation.  As children grow they learn to engage in social situations and read and respond to non-verbal gestures and body language. Speech and language pathologists emphasize receptive and expressive communication, articulation, social pragmatics, feeding, and oral-motor skills. At Pediatric Therapies, the speech and language pathologists are an integral part of our multi-disciplinary team so that language can be reinforced across all environments. They focus on providing services for:

* Receptive/Expressive Language Skills
* Apraxia
* Articulation
* Social/Pragmatic Language
* Oral-Motor Skills
* Feeding Skills
* Voice/Fluency Disorders
* Augmentative/Alternative Communication Methods
